As a teenager, Willow met the Slayer, and became a close friend and fellow adventurer. Later, she became one of the most powerful witches on Earth, nearly destroying it before snapping back to sanity. Edit
When Buffy first met Willow she could have been described as a sweet, self conscious and often nervous girl. She would exhibit low self esteem and sometimes she’d let people push her around.Willow plays a very important role in Buffy’s life. She, along with Xander, became the Slayer’s first friends when she arrived at Sunnydale and they have remained her best friends ever since. Also, during the course of their friendship Willow has come a long way from being a modest helper who did some research for Buffy and sometimes quite frankly just a nuisance (Buffy having to help her out of trouble constantly), to becoming a very powerful witch and thus a formidable ally. In early days Willow would prove useful aiding Giles digging through volumes of ancient lore in search for prophecies, information about demons, stories of vampires and many more useful knowledge that the Slayer could require at any given moment. Also sometimes her computer expertise was used, for instance, for hacking into government databases and such.Willow’s first contact with witchcraft came out of necessity. Angel had lost his soul and thus became Angelus a vicious murderous vampire so to stop him, Willow created a spell to curse the vampire again with a mortal soul. After that Willow began training in the dark arts and she had a natural talent for that, so soon she became a very powerful witch.
Dark Willow
When Warren Mears attempted to kill Buffy by shooting her in her back garden, as he fleed after shooting her, he continued to shoot wildly and without aiming, and a stray bullet flew through Willow's bedroom window and hit Tara in the chest, killing her. Willow caught Tara as she fell, and when she looked up, her eyes glowed red. Willow quickly summons Osirus (previously contacted when Buffy was resurrected) in an attempt to bring Tara back, but he explains that because she died by natural human fault. Willow angers and super screams at the god, sending him away.
Dark Willow
From the Magic Box, Willow makes her way to the hospital, where she demands that all the surgeons that are operating on Buffy leave. She carefully removes the from Buffy and heals her, and she, Buffy and Xander (who was there all along) head to the car, where she makes them drive her to Warren (Willow is able to track him via his sensing his essence/soul). When Willow claims that Xander isn't driving fast enough, she takes control of the car, and she drives it off the road and through to the side of another, all in a desert type area. Willow gets out and we are able to see a bus heading their way. WIllow takes control of the bus, making it drive on until she makes it come to a stand still in front of her. She opens the door and demands that Warren get out, which he does. She begins to strangle him, but his eye falls out and she discovers that he's a robot, which angers her because she thought she could feel his essence. Buffy and Xander try to reason with her, and she tells them that he killed Tara, but Buffy continues to plead, asking her not to kill because it'll change her, but Willow forces them backwards as she walks away. With Tara's blood-spattered shirt, Willow performs a spell in Tara's dorm room, which creates a map on the shirt that leads her to Warren.
Willow chases Warren through the woods. He sends various things to stop her, such as a flying box that explodes, but Willow freezes the explosion and shatters it, and a gel that surrounds her, but she burns through it rapidly. She chants a spells that causes vines to restrain Warren, and she finally catches him (she found him before, but she was messing with him then). He mocks and taunts him, and then begins to talk about how painful it is when someone gets shot, and she shows him what it's like: she tears a hole in him and then slowly pushes the bullet in. Buffy, Xander and Anya then arrive to see what's coming next: Willow mutters "Bored now." and gestures, flaying Warren from foot to head and then burning his remaining corpse (it is later revealed that he was summoned away by Amy Madison who brought him back to life).
Willow quickly escapes, now going after the other two members of the Trio, Jonathan and Andrew, who are currently in prison. Willow destroys the engine of Xander's car, so they're unable to follow, but they have plans... Willow quickly gets to the prison, and guards come out at her but she quickly disposes of them, and begins to take down the upper prison wall. When she's finished, she flies up, to find the cell empty, but Anya on the other side. Anya pleads with her to stop, but she quickly blasts her, and then screams, but in a super sonic manner. Knowing that Buffy and Xander has the two, Willow chases them. They think that Willow isn't trailing them, only to be rammed by a truck the next moment, Willow standing a top of it, magically driving it. Luckily for the four, Willow's power has been drained, and she runs out of power.
Willow then heads to Rack's apartment, where he taunts her. After a minute or two of the taunting, Willow forces her hand into his chest and drains his magical power. A few moments later, and Dawn enters the apartment to find Rack dead on the floor, and Dark Willow waiting for her, now with veins running over her face. Dark Willow begins to mock Dawn, saying that all she does is moan. Dark Willow is then about to turn her back into the Key (energy form), when Buffy bursts in. Dawn runs to Buffy, and Buffy begins to try and reason with Willow, telling her that life is worth living, but Dark Willow knows that she's lying. As they talk, Dark Willow teleports them to the Magic Box, where Xander, Anya, Jonathan and Andrew reside (Anya out of sight at the moment). Dark Willow then begins to fire magic at Jonathan and Andrew, but they are protected by some sort of field, revealed to be Anya chanting. She tries another few times, but is unable to breach the field. Dark Willow then casts a spell on herself, to enhance her strength aiming to pummel the two to death with her fists. Buffy jumps in her way to protect the two, but Dark Willow throws her aside. Dark Willow and Buffy then get into a fight, smashing each other, Xander taking the opportunity to escape with the two and Dawn, but Anya stays to keep chanting the spell to stop Dark Willow from harming Buffy with projectile magic. Dark Willow then discovers that Anya is chanting, and begins to strangle her, only to be stopped by Buffy, and the two battle some more, until Dark Willow throws her across the room, and begins to talk: "The Slayer thing really isn't about the violence. It's about the power. And there's no one in the world who has the power to stop me now." At that moment, Dark Willow is flung across the room by a flash of green light, revealed to be Giles, who states "I'd like to test that theory."
Dark Willow begins to mock Giles, and the two verbally fight. She attempts to stand, but Giles gestures, knocking her back down. She attempts to get up again, waving away Giles spell. He then throws a magical ring aroundher, that restricts her use of magic and movement. Giles and Buffy go downstairs to talk, and Dark Willow is left with Anya who's cleaning up. Dark Willow contacts Anya via telepathy, asking her to release her, but Anya refuses, and she tells Dark Willow that mind control doesn't work on her. But as Buffy and Giles talk downstairs, Dark Willow appears in the doorway, holding the unconscious Anya, and she and Giles begin to fight. Dark Willow flings several weapons at him, but he uses his magic to place a dummy in front of him, protecting himself. Dark Willow magically moves it aside, but Giles throws a magic blast at her, knocking her back through a wall. She gets back up and talks to Buffy and Giles, but then creates a fire ball, made to seek out Jonathan and Andrew and kill them, but this was a plot to get Buffy out of the way, which it does as she runs after the fire ball. She and Giles duel, but she gets the upper-hand and she pins him to the ceiling and then drops him to the floor, and then taunts him. She then takes his magics, but the power comes with amazing emotions, and she thinks that the world is depressed and that she tends to help everyone by destroying the Earth. She heads to the old temple of Satanic demon, who intended on destroying the Earth before by feeding the Earth's energy through the temple. She uses her powers to raise the temple from underground, so she can use it. Dark Willow also animates some corpses in the hole in which Buddy and Dawn are trapped in to distract them. Dark WIllow then begins to channel the energy of Earth through the temple, which trigger's severe tremors. But, the process is interupted by Xander, who stands in the way of the energy flow. Dark Willow threatens to kill him, but her keeps talking and she throws him aside. She starts the process again, but yet again Xander interrupts it. He continues talking, explaining that Willow is the only other person other than his parents that he's known all his life, and that he loves her. He walks closer, and her eyes begin to tear, and she runs at him, hitting him in the chest, but he hugs her and the two fall to their knees, Dark Willow know reverting to normal Willow, and she begins to cry.
Rehabilitation
After her breakdown, Willow is taken to England
Powers and Abilities
When the Buffy series first began, Willow possessed no supernatural powers. Willow used her smarts to aid the gang, being one of the smartest people in Sunnydale High, and her amazing technology skills, usually using them to hack into mainframes to retreive information to aid the gang. She also mainly helped Giles research through the libraries books. Because of her incredibly high level of intelligence too, after her computer teacher and Scooby Gang ally Jenny Calandar was murdered, Willow was even asked to take over her class(es).Willow first displayed an interest/nack in/for magic in the fourth episode of the show, where she aided Giles in creating a potion to detect a witch. She didn't display this interest until the next season, where she casts a spell to stop Angelus from entering Buffy's home once more (making it as if she had invited him in).
